Round Arsenal stadium they've started taking portable grinders to D-Locks, while hiding under blankets! Thieves target events like football matches where they can be fairly sure they won't be confronted by the owner until the event is over.
I use locking skewers called Pitlocks which are ridiculously expensive (around £40 the pair), but you can lock your bike any old how and not worry about the wheels. I've never lost a bike that way. I lose bikes because I think, Surely I can nip in to the shop for half a minute without locking up...
